The
Argentine basketball team
is looking forward to its debut in qualifying for the
FIBA AmeriCup
and will do so with elegance.
What better way to pay tribute to the
Golden Generation
than to wear the new t-shirts presented by the Argentine Basketball and Kelme Confederation.
Not only is it an original design, but it evokes that jacket that starred in the great conquest of gold in Athens 2004. Now, as it turns 20 years old, they will venerate that moment throughout the event.
For Pablo Prigioni
's team,
they will be decisive matches that will give them the opportunity to demonstrate their power and recover from the hard blow they received after not qualifying for the next Olympic event in Paris 2024. This tournament is the third most important in basketball at the national team level, in which Argentina was champion in 2001, in 2011 and more recently in 2022, when it defeated Brazil in a tough final by 75 to 73. Now it will seek to qualify for this AmeriCup 2025, starting the cycle against Chile this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. at the Malvinas Argentinas Sports Center in Mar del Plata.
